GATHERING HYMN: Come to Me All Pilgrims Thirsty, ELW 777

1 "Come to me, all pilgrims thirsty; drink the water I will give. If you knew what gift I offer, you would come to me and live." Refrain Jesus, ever flowing fountain, give us water from your well. In the gracious gift you offer there is joy no tongue can tell. 3 "Come to me, believers burdened; find refreshment in this place. Come, receive the gift I offer, turn to me and seek my face."

Refrain Text: Delores Dufner, OSB, b. 1939 Text © 1992, 1996 Sisters of St. Benedict, 104 Chapel Lane, St. Joseph, MN 56374

SONG OF THE DAY: Come as You Are Come out of sadness, from wherever you’ve been. Come, brokenhearted; let rescue being. Come find your mercy; oh, sinner, come kneel. Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal. Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal.

So, lay down your burdens, lay down your shame. All who are broken, lift up your face. Oh, wanderer, come home; You’re not too far. So, lay down your hurt, lay down your heart; come as you are.

Come as you are. Fall in His arms. Come as you are.

There’s joy for the mourning. Oh, sinner, be still. Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal. Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal.

So, lay down your burdens, lay down your shame. All who are broken, lift up your face. Oh, wanderer, come home; You’re not too far. So, lay down your hurt, lay down your heart; come as you are. ©2014 THANKYOU Music (PRS), INOT MUSIC (ASCAP)

SENDING HYMN: I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say, ELW 611

1 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Come unto me and rest; lay down, O weary one, lay down your head upon my breast." I came to Jesus as I was, so weary, worn, and sad; I found in him a resting-place, and he has made me glad.

3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world's light; look unto me, your morn shall rise, and all your day be bright." I looked to Jesus, and I found in him my star, my sun; and in that light of life I'll walk till trav'ling days are done. Text: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889

Apostle’s Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again.

He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
